I'm back, sorry I wasn't joking about the hour a week to play problem.

My buddy said they've unlocked almost everything there is to do in their clan so it seems like he wants to stay there but is cool with allying our little 2 man squad with goons. How do we do that? TBH if its a ton of a work to coordinate lets hold off because I'm still kinda trying this game out and don't want to ask a ton only to disappear in a month.

On that note: I considered outright buying the rhino frame last night when plat was 1/3rd off. But dang its like $15 huh? That seems expensive. I'm thinking maybe I'll try to farm for it since I still need to get a few levels on my mag plus starter weapons before I trade out. I'm getting kind of tired of this bow anyway, its sick as hell on some missions but other times I really need a better rate of fire and less need to aim precisely.

It is a little demotivating and intimidating looking at all the stuff involved in progressing. What is a good smaller goal to shoot for at level 2 pretty much still starting out? I've been doing that archwing quest and trying to figure out rhino frame stuff. Also looking at a good secondary / primary to shoot for but theres so many suggestions it brings me back to confusion. I do have the blueprints for a heat sword and all I need is one part, guessing it would be smart to go for that?

I actually wouldn't mind just buying a rhino prime but do you really have to sit in trade chat shouting WTB? Like loving everquest 15 years ago? With such limited time I don't really want to do that.

This is not necessarily the best game for those that are pretty limited on time. However, you can get a fair bit done if you play for maybe an hour or so every day all the time. The thread title is very relevant.

Also, you can normally just ask in clan chat for stuff when you're at the mastery rank to be able to complete trades (and have the requisite credits) and people will either help you farm something pretty quickly or just outright give it to you for maybe a Rank 5 Rare Fusion Core (5 dots and gold shiny mod thing).

Dude... never buy frames for plat. Goons can help you get the frames you need. Ask in Alliance chat (And it's very easy to join the Alliance with your clan. Just post a request here asking to join with your Warframe Clan Name). Save plat for slots, and learn the market a bit before going on the market and buying poo poo. wftrading.net is a good start (though not completely accurate).

And yeah, seriously, you sit there saying WTB. The obvious downside is this system is annoying and innefficient. The upside though is that means there's no obvious "set" price for anything, and you can fleece pubbies for tons of plat if you know what you're doing.

Tbh, I ran out of trades yesterday and now I only have 32k credits due to trade tax, heh.

Sidenote: I have almost all of the non-prime frames after like 6 months of relatively casual playing (I had most of them before then though). It doesn't take much. What will take additional effort: Getting all your Prime frames/weapons, getting all the modules you want, getting neurodes/neural sensors/orokin cells, and then getting forma and froma'ing all your crap. Orokin Catalysts/Boosters drop via Gift of Lotus Alert about every 2 weeks (it's one or the other) on fridays iirc.

Deceitful and black-hearted, perhaps we are. But we would never go against the Code. Well, perhaps for good reasons. But mostly never.

Not much to coordinate. First, you post the name of your clan in here. Then I send a clan invite. And then someone in your clan with the appropriate role (negotiator? mediator? something like that. Or it might be leader only. If you're both warlords then it can be either of you, if not that it may need to be him) accepts it, and that's that. I don't think that the invites expire, so a week or so wait there shouldn't be a problem.

Cool. I will get the name hopefully tonight and post it and give him the heads up for next time we play or he logs in.

You know I might actually be able to play more than 1 hour per week, its just like last priority so when stuff comes up I can't play space ninja. I think last week I actually played games at least an hour most nights.

While we're discussing peripherals, are there any decent wireless gaming keyboard/mouse combo sets? Having both keyboard and mouse go to one single receiver helps a lot with my limited number of USB ports.

I know it's not a "set", but the Logitech performance MX mouse is wireless and loving fantastic. Charges an internal NiCAD battery (which you can replace with your own) via mini-USB. I've had mine for a while now. It's great. Uses the single tiny-dongle receiver which I'm sure Logitech makes a wireless keyboard that interfaces with.

Yeah, it was datamined around the Excalibur Umbra reveal.

That's why I took the 50 plat Excalibur Umbra bet with you, by the way. We're most likely getting Umbra as a frame because its name and description strings as "DarkExcalibur" are already in the international client.

You have no idea how tempted I was to say "Would you like to pay out now?" and show the datamining results.

So, it's been...easily over a year since I last played this game. Do I understand correctly that it's still "in beta?"

e: does it still revolve entirely around murdering endless numbers of insert-faction-here enemies with your penetration-modded weapons in order to get a shot at whatever it is you're looking for?

They've long-ago stopped referring to it as beta, but have never actually come out and said it's not, either. View that as you will, but I think they kind of recognize that the distinction is essentially meaningless for something as constantly-evolving as Warframe.

While the endless hordes of mooks are still there, how you mod weapons has changed. Puncture is no longer the be-all-end-all and hasn't been for a long time. This wiki page may be helpful.
